Good point.

I would put Cooney in the same bracket. They commanded top money when at their top which has regrettably now passed them by.

OK, we have escaped Lake's back ended contract.

Frankly, Cooney has had 2 seasons to show show he is over his knee, and hasn't. It's a tragedy, but IMO we should pay him out and roll the dice with a 10% chance late pick.

Like lake, he would probably be gone end 2013.

Do we have an "Elephant in the Room" Board for this?

Can I clarify? did the Hawks pay it out? Lake's contract...

No he signed a new contract with Hawthorn meaning the contract with the dogs was ripped up. We won't be paying any of Brian's salary next year.

Cheers Slim. Well, there's a wad of cash right there.

Which can cause it's own type of problems, as in paying the minimum % of the salary cap. The obvious is to front load / re-write a few contracts, but still tricky business.

David Rodan and Jacob Surjan are just two of seven Port delistings today.

Geez, unless Surjan's knee (?) has given out, he'd be a great pickup for a team in finals contention.

Shame about Rodan too. Loved watching him play. Great agility

Surjan's never been anyhing more than an average player IMO. He attacks the contest/man hard, but that's about it.

No better than Addison.

If a player has been delisted can you pick them up for nothing?

I'm thinking of Roden, strong player maybe a stop gap while our kids develop. But at 29 I don't want to give anything up for him.

Yeah surprised they would let him go, but at 29, no thanks.

Yeah, I just looked at his stats for the year and he has been quite.

Yes, delisted players automatically become free agents I believe.

Little bit of chat Geelongs Mitch Brown may want out. Id definitley be more keen on him than on say a Scott Gumbleton
